Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Chapter 2113 Bi Mawen

Yuan Lanri knew that he didn't have much time left, and he had to show his ability as soon as possible to gain the attention of the tribe. This was not only related to his own living conditions, but also to the survival of the entire tribe. Beiyuan was more cruel than other places. Because every 10 years, there would be a special cold winter here. During that cold winter, super snowstorms would cover the entire Beiyuan. Such super storms were simply not something that mortals could resist. At least conventional means could not resist them.

In the past, the only way to survive was to join one of the Golden Families. If this Golden Families could survive the King's Court War and become the final winner, they would be able to bring their own forces into the King's Court Blessed Land to avoid disaster.

Although the loser can preserve the bloodline of the Golden Family, it will be difficult for their subordinates to enter the Royal Court to avoid disaster. If they stay outside, they will not die, but they will also have a chance of death.

Generations of people in Beiyuan survived this way. According to his observation, given the current state of the tribe, even if they wanted to join a golden family, no one would necessarily be interested. If this continued, the entire tribe would probably be wiped out in the next blizzard. He had just landed and was on a sinking ship. He had to find a way to save the ship so that he could survive.

The so-called Golden Family is actually the bloodline descendants of Juyang Immortal Venerable. They have been passed down from generation to generation for countless years. The rule of the King's Court War in Beiyuan every 10 years constantly selects the bloodlines of the people on this land. As time goes by, almost everyone on this land can be regarded as a descendant of Juyang Immortal Venerable. From this perspective, he is also a very successful one among many venerables.

Yuan Lanri was not yet capable of intervening at the level of the Venerable. His priority was to solve his own survival problem, and if he wanted to improve his status, he had to start with the livestock breeding that he was currently responsible for.

The difficulty of breeding the wooden horses raised in the tribe is very low. All you need to do is artificially pollinate them when they bloom during the breeding season and reproduce them like plants. After artificial pollination, the female will bloom and bear fruit. It will not be conceived in the body. In a sense, this is not viviparous or oviparous. Instead, it is a fruit that is conceived and planted underground. If you provide enough water, suitable temperature and sunlight, it will grow. And it will grow into a small wooden horse in a few days.

These horses can already show quite a lot of traits when they are still very young. A skilled horse breeder can tell from a pony whether it has potential or not. He can even tell from the seedlings which pony has more potential.

Lan Nuo's learning ability was very strong. After much questioning, the horse breeder reluctantly taught him some skills to identify ponies, and he summarized the rules based on these skills.

In fact, ponies grow up very quickly. Under normal circumstances, it only takes three or four months for them to grow to the age of reproduction. However, if you want to artificially mature them and make them reproduce faster, there is a way.

After all, this is not a simple plant, and it does not rely solely on photosynthesis to grow. They can grow quickly by eating. The more suitable the food is for them to digest, the faster they grow. If they are given enough grass, three or four months can be reduced to one or two months. But grass is not the easiest food for them to absorb.

The easiest food for these Trojans to absorb is the fruit they produce after mating. After they eat these fruits, almost all of them will be converted into their own nutrients, and the seeds will be excreted with feces. After these seeds are excreted, they can also take root, but without the nutrients brought by the fruit, the growth rate will be much slower.

The Trojan Horse tribe will spread these seeds everywhere on the grassland where they live. When they come back next year, these seeds will grow into mature individuals. They don't need to raise them themselves, they just need to capture them to turn them into wealth for the tribe.

Of course, it is precisely because of this free-range habit that the people in the tribe have never attempted breeding in a systematic manner.

If it is fed with ripe fruits, it only takes a few days for a pony to grow to maturity. But this is actually a waste of energy, because it takes an adult horse to waste energy in order to produce such fruits. Even if the conversion rate between the fruit and itself is very high, this little waste is worth saving for the tribe in the snow.

Lan Nuo can only do these experiments secretly. Fortunately, it doesn't waste much here. The horse breeder saw that he was unwilling to breed a new breed of pony. He just turned a blind eye to his attempts. He was also so ambitious when he was young. But after wasting a few years of his time, he was finally forced to give up.

Compared to him, Lan Nuo was more purposeful and principled. The inheritance of the various traits of these horses also followed the law of segregation and the law of free combination. Lan Nuo didn't care about the close relatives that some people in the tribe were taboo about. Of course, close relatives were not allowed to be together for humans. Every child was precious to humans. If there was a slight possibility of a child with a deformity or disease, parents would try their best to avoid it.

But animals and humans are obviously not the same. Especially for the offspring of livestock, even if there are some bad mutations, just give up breeding. No one will have that kind of affection for children, especially for animals that have certain plant characteristics, so there is no need to worry about the harm caused by inbreeding.

Backcrossing is very important for animal breeding. It means mating the offspring with the father and mother to obtain stable offspring.

Based on the experience he had accumulated from breeding countless other species, Lan Nuo spent several months breeding more than a dozen generations of new Trojans, gradually differentiating the characteristics of this species into individuals with different functions, mainly divided into three lineages, and making these three lineages basically able to be inherited stably.

The first lineage mainly strengthens the ability of photosynthesis. This species has extremely high photosynthesis efficiency. Originally, it only had two pairs of wing-like leaves on its back. Now, it can support 8 huge leaves at a time when photosynthesis is needed, and each leaf is larger than the previous one. The efficiency of photosynthesis is also much higher, and it can grow quickly even when there is not enough grass. In addition, another major feature of them is that they can reproduce asexually quickly, and they can produce a large number of fruits while photosynthesizing. Although these asexually reproduced fruits cannot be planted to grow new ponies, they can be used as feed.

It is not just the Trojan horses that can use this feed. When people in the tribe are relatively hungry and lack other food sources, these fruits can also be used as food for humans.

This allowed the nomadic tribes to acquire farming-like abilities to a certain extent. Highly efficient photosynthesis reduced the cost of feeding while increasing the output of feeding. The size of the population could continue to expand.

In addition, another species has a strong digestive ability and strong endurance, and is good at carrying heavy objects for long distances. This type is mainly tough and durable, and looks a little shorter than the photosynthetic species. But it is superior in both strength and endurance. It is not picky about food sources. The food residues and even feces of the tribesmen can be digested by it, and the last bit of nutrition can be squeezed out. And such traits can also be stably inherited. It is much stronger than the semi-wild individuals in the tribe whose various traits are unstable.

And that's not all. The third breed was designed by him based on hybrid vigor, a characteristic that is commonly found in nature. But it is essentially a bit like a mule, with excellent traits but no way to reproduce itself.

If the two varieties mentioned above are mated with each other, this third variety will be born. However, just like hybrid rice, the characteristics of this variety cannot be stably inherited. Even if they are allowed to reproduce with each other, they will not produce viable offspring.

But this breed also has its own advantages. Its all-round attributes are extremely high. Its speed, strength, and endurance are far superior to its parents. As for its size, it is much larger. The weight of an adult is nearly twice that of its parents. It doesn't even look like the same species. It has hard keratin skin on its body, and its photosynthetic wings have directly degenerated. Its various attributes are already close to the best war horses on the grassland. The only flaw is that it cannot reproduce itself. But this is an advantage in a way. If it is exported to other tribes as a commodity, then there is no need to worry about other tribes breeding after getting the war horses. They can produce the same wooden horse and rely on the stronger comprehensive strength of other tribes to grab business.

After Yuan Lanri successfully bred a stable genetic species, he stopped pretending. He showed his achievements directly. The horse breeder didn't believe it at first. He had been raising horses for so many years. He had tried to breed so many different species but failed. How come the boy in front of him succeeded by accident? But the facts were in front of him and he couldn't refute them. He got along well with the boy in front of him before. Although he wanted to steal the credit from this guy, he thought that he didn't know how to breed these two species. If the species degenerated in the future, he didn't know how to deal with it.

So in the end, what happened here was reported truthfully to the leader of the tribe.

Lan Nuo, you finally succeeded in gaining a certain status in the tribe by breeding a new breed of warhorse. Originally, the tribe leader wanted to choose one of his brothers' daughters to marry Yuan Lanri, so that he could be recruited as a member of his tribe. After all, there was no blood relationship between them. For a tribe that attached great importance to blood ties, Yuan Lanri was still an outsider.

But Yuan Lanri still chose to refuse. He was not Lan Nuo's real body, and he was not sure if he had such a strong will to remain unshakable in front of the gentle girl. Since he did not have enough confidence in himself, he should not test his weaknesses.

Although the leader was somewhat disappointed, he heard that he was willing to continue to raise war horses. He just needed more authority and more help from the tribesmen. In the end, he agreed and promised to give him certain resources so that he could start practicing as a Gu Master.

Lan Nuo's clone appeared to be overjoyed. In fact, he was not very eager for these cultivation resources. Before they set out, the researchers of the Shanhe Republic had already developed a method of cultivation that could be used even in the absence of resources based on the environment they might be in in the future.

In theory, Gu worms are indeed the lifeblood of Gu Masters, but Gu worms are essentially a collection of regular Dao Marks. In theory, as long as you eat a reasonable diet and guide the Dao Marks in the food through physical exercise to comb through the body, even without Gu worms, you can theoretically achieve various magical abilities. The simplest one is to increase your own strength.

Strength is the school that is most easily accessible to the lower class. Many of the poisonous insects of this school can be passed on to other people in turn after use. After increasing the strength mark, even if the poisonous insect is lost, one's own strength will not disappear. Therefore, some people who are almost ordinary people in the tribe, after receiving rewards like poisonous insects, even if they only have the right to use them temporarily, later possessed strength far beyond ordinary people.

What Lan Nuo did was just to extract the Dao Marks he needed from the food. Beiyuan was a vast land with few people and many wild beasts. Lan Nuo chose the classic combination of the Slave Dao and the Soul Dao, and the Strength Dao Marks, and only placed a small amount of them in his limbs, so that his physical fitness would grow along with his strength, and would not become his weakness.

The traces of the soul path are constantly accumulated on his head, and they are combed little by little to make them exist in a more harmonious form. The traces of the slave path are placed on his torso, leaving relatively more space to increase the slave path ability. Even if there is a lack of corresponding poisonous insects, he can now perform some weaker killing moves. For example, he can summon water that can feed livestock out of thin air, or quickly stimulate photosynthesis of plants in an area, grow and reproduce quickly, and provide enough food for livestock. In addition, he can also actively stimulate the breeding of livestock. All these functions do not have much combat power, but they have a strong effect in breeding and breeding. Just cultivate three basic varieties. Lan Nuo will not be satisfied. He needs to make himself and the tribe he lives in now. In Beiyuan, there is a chance to survive the once-in-a-decade royal court war. Relying on the three basic varieties he cultivated, the tribe can only barely qualify as cannon fodder, which is not enough. At the same time, the clones from all over the world, for different reasons, have to start to become stronger, and even establish their own forces and integrate into the four domains.
